You&#8217;ve probably wondered that too, after all, millions of users have been affected by YouTube&#8217;s shutdown and relaunch. Since YouTube has deleted thousands of videos and closed channels, the question of whether it will shut down forever remains. Here are some possible scenarios, as well as ways to avoid losing a lot of time and money. Let&#8217;s start with a possible scenario: If YouTube is getting deleted in 2022, will it come back in some form?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_will_be_shut_down_in_2022\"><\/span>YouTube will be shut down in 2022<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After several years of steady growth, YouTube has decided to retire its Go app, which is geared for low-end Android devices. The reason for the app&#8217;s discontinuation is that it uses more data than the main YouTube application and does not work well on slower networks. YouTube says it&#8217;s working to improve the main YouTube app to keep it available in a range of devices, and hopes to stop decommissioning the Go app by August 2022.<\/p>\n<p>During its early days, YouTube was heavily investing in original series to compete with subscription services. In 2018, the company cancelled several series and moved projects to other outlets. Those shows, like &#8220;Cobra Kai&#8221; and &#8220;On Becoming a God in Central Florida,&#8221; were acquired by Showtime and Netflix, and the popular &#8220;Step Up&#8221; was bought by Starz. YouTube shifted its focus to unscripted content and music videos, as well as educational programming.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_closed_channels\"><\/span>YouTube closed channels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a YouTuber, you&#8217;ve probably seen the latest statistics about closed channels getting deleted. As of the fourth quarter of 2022, there were nearly seventy-three million channels that were deleted. For the entire year, YouTube removed over 15 million videos. In theory, closing a YouTube channel isn&#8217;t &#8220;spontaneous,&#8221; but in practice, it occurs if a user violates their terms of service or has multiple videos in a short period of time.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube recently admitted that it would be deleting closed channels in 2022, and it was working on a fix. The company apologized for the inconvenience and reverted the changes for all users. However, there are still several other issues that the company is currently fixing, including a bug that causes captions to appear grayed-out. It was also recently noted that monetization of closed channels has been impacted by the new terms and conditions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_deleted_videos\"><\/span>YouTube deleted videos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been looking for a way to restore YouTube deleted videos, you&#8217;re in luck! YouTube is the largest video database in the world, and millions of people &#8211; including you &#8211; log in every day, waiting impatiently to find that a video you&#8217;ve saved has been deleted. And you&#8217;re probably wondering: &#8220;How do I do that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to YouTube&#8217;s Community Guidelines, over half a billion videos a month have been taken down. Most are wiped out due to copyright and trademark issues. But sometimes, videos are removed for other reasons, such as for violating the terms of service. The following are some examples of videos that may have been deleted by YouTube in the last quarter. If you&#8217;re wondering how YouTube determines which videos are deleted, read on!<\/p>\n<p>First, make sure your videos aren&#8217;t offensive or violent. YouTube deletes videos for these reasons, and it&#8217;s best to follow their rules and make a copy of them in another location. If you can&#8217;t find the video you&#8217;re looking for, you can try editing it. Once you&#8217;ve edited it, you can try uploading it again! Remember: you can always restore YouTube videos if you back them up first.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tnCAaBDpNlc\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"410\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"229\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is YouTube Getting Deleted in 2022?
